Partner your CAP Church with Acts 435
Acts 435 enables you to crowdfund to provide essential items for people in need.
Our mission is to serve churches and local charities who are seeing the impact of poverty and hardship in their communities, and enable them to crowdfund for individuals and families who are struggling to afford items such as a washing machine, a bus pass or school uniform.
Acts 435 is a simple, free, solution to not only meet the everyday needs of individuals, but is also an effective way to bring hope to those who are experiencing poverty or facing hardship.
How does it work?
The church or local charity nominates a volunteer (Acts 435 Advocate) who hears of the need and is then able to post it as a request onto the Acts 435 website. Once posted, donors can go onto the website to give towards the need. Once the request is fulfilled the money is then sent to the organisation to help them source the much-needed item for the individual or family.
“Acts 435 has been a brilliant resource to our Debt Centre since I began working here in Skipton. As we live in a rural area, a car can be an essential item for work or school. Often, when I am chatting with a CAP client they might talk about how they are struggling to cover car repair costs. We explain that Acts 435 might be able to help with these costs, and it is instantly helpful as the client can see how interested we are in helping them to maintain their income and keep their job. As Acts 435 needs are met so quickly the client feels noticed and encouraged in their journey with CAP.”
Ruth, CAP Centre Manager and Acts 435 Advocate, Skipton.
